Three guys and they're out having a relaxing day fishing. Out of the
blue, they catch a mermaid who begs to be set free in return for
granting each of them a wish.
Now one of the guys just doesn't believe it, and says: "OK, if you can
really grant wishes, then double my I.Q." "The mermaid says: "Done."
Suddenly, the guy starts reciting Shakespeare flawlessly and analyzing
it with extreme insight.
The second guy is so amazed he says to the mermaid: "Triple my I.Q."
The mermaid says: "Done." The guy starts to spout out all the
mathematical solutions to problems that have been stumping all the
scientists of varying fields: physics, chemistry, etc.
The last guy is so enthralled with the changes in his friends, that he
says to the mermaid: "Quintuple my I.Q." The mermaid looks at him and
says: "You know, I normally don't try to change people's minds when
they make a wish, but I really wish you'd reconsider. "
The guy says: "Nope, I want you to increase my I.Q. times five, and if
you don't do it, I won't set you free."
"Please," says the mermaid "You don't know what you're asking...it'll change your entire view on the universe...won't you ask for something
else...a million dollars, anything?" But no matter what the mermaid
said, the guy insisted on having his I.Q. increased by five times it's
usual power.
So the mermaid sighed and said: "Done!" And he became a woman.
